EAMONN Holmes and ex-wife Ruth Langsford’s joint business has racked up six-figure debts, new accounts reveal.
Figures filed at Companies House today reveal Holmes & Away has to fork out £251,029 on bills.
It owes a six-figure sum to creditors, according to the figures dated 31 March 2025, and signed off by Eamonn in January.
All are due to be ‘repaid within a year,’ and will leave the firm, which currently holds £203,055 in assets, £47,974 in the red.
The Sun has contacted representatives for Eamonn and Ruth for comment.
It’s another blow for Eamonn, who has been grappling with ongoing health issues as well as a tax dispute with HMRC which he says has cost him £1 million.
Holmes & Away was set up by Eamonn and Ruth back in 2009.
The former couple still co-own and co-run the firm despite splitting in 2024.
It’s the second year in a row that the business has fallen into the red.
In 2024 it was £22,850 in the red and owed £149,115 in bills.
It’s a long way from the firm’s heyday.
At its peak, in 2018, it held assets of £658,680 as well as £337,477 in ongoing profits.
Efforts to end the business relationship seem to have failed, at least as at the date of the new accounts.
For two years running accounts have stated: “These accounts are prepared on a basis other than going concern as the company has ceased trading and plans to dissolve in the next twelve months.”
Despite its intention to close, the firm still has two employees.
In addition to his troubles at Holmes & Away, Eamonn has been outperformed by Ruth in their solo business ventures.
Figures filed last month reveal Ruth paid herself £585,000 and held £776,889 at her solo firm, Hey Ho.
Meanwhile, Eamonn’s solo business, Red White & Green, returned a £29,093 profit in the year to 31 March 2025.
Its accounts, also filed at Companies House today, report £264,778 in funds.
Set up in 2001, it was at the centre of his £1 million tax case that saw HMRC argue he had avoided tax through the firm.
